I have stumbled across another thread where they discuss short courses being available that then enable someone to be become a competent person registered on a DI scheme (i’m going to assume though, for my own sanity, that they have limitations) to enable them to self certify part P. Apparently the IET do not class this person as an electrician (nor do I). I don’t have time to do the research just yet but if this is the case I understand whole heartedly why you would not want to be known as a domestic installer!
This to me would explain why some might refer to these competent persons schemes as “scams”
Be aware that I have never come across these non electrical yet competent people so they have never effected me or my business.
My domestic installer status is something I have never referred to, and my experience with the NICEIC as an approved contractor has done well for me and my company. But, as I have mentioned before, I have had reason to fall out with them, TWICE and both times it cost me money through no fault of my own, I just picked myself up and moved on.
Until I am better informed I withdraw my statement that “Part P was the best thing to happen to the industry” I will re-phrase it. “I made Part P work for me!” and it rhymes!

ps. Make no mistake though, some of the stuff that some of you have said is nothing more than uneducated here-say. you know who you are!
